Terri Kwan Smith, 42, of Los Angeles was fatally shot on April 14, 2014, during a dispute with her roommate over a $10 cable bill. The shooting happened in the 5700 block of South 9th Avenue in Hyde Park, where Smith lived in a transitional housing facility with her two children, then aged 11 years and 20 months. Smith was pronounced dead at the scene; her boyfriend was also wounded and taken to the hospital in stable condition.

The dispute between Smith and her roommate, Kenneth Theodrick Parks, 55, had been escalating for about a week before the shooting. Parks was arrested and charged in connection with the attack. The case stood out because the fatal escalation grew from an apparently trivial argument over a small bill.

Does anyone have information about the household or the lead-up to the dispute that could shed light on what happened?
